Paradoxaholic is the second solo album by Will Rigby, released on April 23, 2002 on Diesel Only Records. It is also his first solo album in 17 years, since Sidekick Phenomenon was released in 1985. Paradoxaholic was notably more planned-out than Sidekick Phenomenon was. It was recorded during Rigby's time as a session musician, during which he exchanged time doing sessions for the opportunity to record his own music in the studio.[1]
